The England attacking midfielder, who joined us from Aston Villa earlier this month, made his Premier League debut for City at the weekend.
Though it was a frustrating afternoon as we slipped to a 1-0 loss away to Tottenham, Grealish offered several tantalising glimpses of his vibrant attacking armoury.
And speaking on Sunday’s latest Matchday Live programme, former City central defender Onuoha was effusive in his praise for what the 25-year-old will bring to the City squad.
“I think Jack Grealish is one of the most exciting attacking talents in English football,” Onuoha declared.
“He could be one of the best in this team which is a statement in itself because this club has the best players in the world.
“His performances are going to have to be at the very top to stay in the team.
“But when you have that desire and love of the game, that’s who you want representing your team.
“Everybody respects Grealish, but what he did at Villa is going to be different to what he does at City.”
Nedum’s excitement about Grealish’s arrival was echoed by Joleon Lescott, Onuoha’s fellow special guest on Sunday’s Matchday Live edition.
